    A wiki article about the guy who took the photos.

    Sergey Prokudin-Gorsky - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia


    Those photos look way to crisp to be direct images, they must have digitally edited them some.

    Looking at the wiki article, they were, in 2004.

    Yes, my Google fun was done when I found that one.

    Sure did see quite a few babes while I was searching. What's the deal? Are there no single men in Russia for these girls to marry?
